Future of the eurozone

The eurozone can only work if countries are better off inside the currency union than on the outside. In its current form, the single currency is unsustainable. The success or failure of the eurozone will determine the EU's future, as continued low growth and divergent economic fortunes will further heighten euroscepticism.

The new bailout deal signals Greece's capitulation to its creditors, something which has important ramifications for the bailout's success. Even if the deal makes it through the Greek parliament in the coming weeks, the programme's economic incoherence will make it fall apart.
